Now that I’ve had some more listens again to Wonderland and New Romantics…. I’m love/dislike on them. I checked Reddit and there’s a strong consensus on Style. I’m not gonna knock on it too harshly, I just don’t like this version.
I feel like Taylor went through Speak Now to get to here basically discounting it. Which I think has soured me some on 1989 TV.
It also feels like she wanted this one to be like over special and I feel like she may have worked on this one a lot longer behind the scenes.
It’s the mixing that’s killing me here. The vocals are good Taylor has much more control.
I’m not opposed to Synth at all. I love 1980s music and CHVRCHES is one of my favorite Synth bands. Go listen to Nation Of Language who is synth and I love them too!
I’m struggling I guess!

Go listen to Nation Of Language who is synth and I love them too! I’m struggling I guess! You know it's weird. I personally didn't notice too much difference between the OG's the re-records. I think the newer ones have a bit of a wider soundscape and they're a bit punchier but that's not me. The only part of the re-recorded version thats kind of bugging me is they added these "HOOWA" sounds to the back of the talking part on Shake It Off. I think the songs sound really different on different speakers though. Like on the listening party, I was listening to it through the sonos speakers in my living room and it seemed pretty similar. I think listening through headphones makes certain things stand out more. I also think that the thing with the original is that the parts that were a bit more muffled kind of lead to the aestethic where everything kind of sounds shiny and new on the re-record (does that make any sense?) I think such is the case with all the re-records that it takes some time to adjust to them after listening to the origial for 10 years. |

Now we know where Sweeter Than Fiction (TSV) will end up in.

The vault tracks are okay, but nothing special. There’s not a single one that would be a serious contender to be on the album. Taylor made the right choice.

I love all the vault tracks. I think the fandom is sleeping on Suburban Legends especially, which is weird considering it was one people were excited for.
